“We've ordered from our local Subway several times and have always had a pleasant experience, but this one showed their wonderful customer service and we had to share! When we picked up, we didn't notice there was an item missing until after we arrived back home and finally sat down to eat - which was a solid hour after pickup. When we called, the individual that had prepared our order immediately recognized that she did not prepare the missing item and, without hesitation, they prepared it and delivered it to us right away. Thank you for your kindness - from Norwood Campground!!!”

“Met some friends at Mama Noi’s over the weekend. We have been meaning to try this restaurant for sometime and finally had the opportunity to do so. We thought the service was excellent. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The menu has a wide selection of foods available from burgers to pizza to Asian foods. We had a couple of different pizzas and both of them were good. Toppings were abundant as was the cheese. The crust is right between thin and thick. We also tried the cheese sticks and those were good as well. The restaurant had a steady flow of people coming and going to pick up food and dine in. We did not have to wait for a table as there were plenty of places to sit. We will visit Mama Noi’s again.”

“The Shrimp Tacos are excellent.”

“GloryBeans Coffeehouse offers an upbeat, warm environment to enjoy their handcrafted drinks, food specialties, and baked goods! you can meet with friends for a chat around one of the big farmhouse tables, curl up with a good book in one of their comfy chairs, or snag a quieter spot at a small table to get to work. my favorite is the dirty Tahitian vanilla chai latte and the delicious cheesecakes you can order by the slice. Stop in and see for yourself!”

“Absolutely delicious! Our waiter was the absolute best! Definitely my new favorite place to go!”

“Some friends and I stopped by one day, my day to name the restaurant we would visit, and had lunch. Two or three in the group, including me, had eaten there previously and could attest to very good experiences there. During our meal, we all raved about our food. I had always thought that The Varsity in Greenville, North Carolina, and Mod Pizza on the outskirts of Charlotte, North Carolina, could not be topped in terms of good pizza. I now have a new normal when it comes to selecting the best pizza I have ever eaten. Zilla’s! I am not one dab ashamed that I ordered a large Supreme Pizza and ate every tasty morsel of it, from the variety of flavorful toppings to the crispiest pizza crust ever I put in my mouth. Not one to use doggy bags, I was not about to allow one morsel of that culinary beauty to go to waste. I indulged myself! When I asked my daughter and her significant other what they wanted for a joint Christmas present this year, they responded with “We want you to take us out for a pizza dinner”, that was fine by me. We could do either Mod’s or Zilla’s. My daughter made it easy; she later told me we would be going to Zilla’s. I guess Beth and Heidi have a new favorite pizza, too! Thank you all for a great culinary experience! Judi Black Kimrey December 29, 2025”

“Breakfast Nook has an incredible southern vibe and it has a very great atmosphere with very kind people! I stopped at it on a road trip across North Carolina headed east!”

“Wonderful place! First time in today. It was a Cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone who was working was so kind to me. I had a chai latte and a breakfast panini. Both were delicious. I will definitely be back to support this awesome local business. Cant wait to try out the lunch menu as well. 🫶🏻”

“Great food Great staff, highly recommend for an affordable breakfast”

“Melissa has such a fantastic gift to bring this local classic into the present. I love the fact we can pay w a card now (if you’re from Albemarle, you know several places that still, in 2024, don’t “take plastic” lol). The food quality is fantastic, consistent, and very tasty. Nothing bland here. I just hate that I can’t refuse to get a slice of pie every time.”
